As long as they could thoroughly strike at Shenhuang Academy.
They would have to weigh the pros and cons before doing anything, and would not dare to openly molest disciples of Qingxu Academy on the street like today.
Of course, killing Miaoshou Tianzun also involved personal grudges.
It was this Sun Shang who had nearly poisoned Die Nu to death back then.
Today was the best opportunity for revenge.
Die Nu nodded, seeming to understand but not fully.
“Good, since you agree, let us go. Later, your job is just to attract Sun Shang’s attention. Leave killing him to me.”
Ling Xiao still had seven strands of Ren Wang power in his body. He could use one more if needed.
Sacrificing one strand of Ren Wang power to kill Sun Shang would be absolutely worth it.
Having made up his mind, Ling Xiao set out. When leaving Qingxu Academy, he disguised himself, putting on that ghost mask and slightly altering his build, which was no difficult task for a martial artist.
He ambushed himself on Sun Shang’s must-pass route, then released his soul force and cast the Earth Vision Heaven Hearing technique, gaining full knowledge of everything within a ten-li radius.
Sun Shang was a Chengde Hidden Profound Heaven expert of the Tenth Cavern.
Die Nu’s cultivation was on par with his, but killing him would not be easy.
After activating Ren Wang power, Ling Xiao could use soul secret arts for a sneak attack and instantly kill Sun Shang.
The two must join hands, or neither could succeed alone.
The moon was dark, the wind high, the starlight dim.
The perfect moment to kill.
…
At the gate of Shenhuang Academy.
“Tianzun, are we really leaving like this? Why not wait until Deputy Dean Sikong recovers from his injuries before going?”
Dao Wuming stood beside a sedan, looking at the pitch-black night with some worry.
“What is there to fear? This venerable is a Tenth Cavern expert. Aside from Yin Yang Realm cultivators, who can harm me?” Sun Shang said disdainfully.
“Dao Wuming, you are truly spineless. Right now, Feng Qingyan, the Dean of Qingxu Academy, and Huo Pili have all been invited into the palace by the Emperor. There are no Yin Yang Realm experts at Qingxu Academy. Even without Deputy Dean Sikong accompanying us, nothing will happen.”
Moyan Tianzun said disdainfully.
Perhaps because both Moyan Tianzun and Dao Wuming came from Tianlong Continent, they became Sun Shang’s two loyal dogs.
Today, they were naturally going to the palace with Sun Shang as well.
“Enough, let us depart.”
Hearing Moyan Tianzun’s words, Sun Shang felt even more reassured.
He had indeed been worried before. If ambushed by Feng Qingyan or Huo Pili, he might really be killed.
But now, knowing those people were all in the palace, what did he have to fear?
The Emperor had probably considered this point too, which was why he specially invited those people to the palace.
…
They are coming!
Ten li away, the soul force transmitted a clear image. Sun Shang’s sedan was rapidly approaching this direction.
“Moyan and Dao Wuming are following too? Hehe, perfect, I can take care of you two as well!”
Today, Ling Xiao no longer feared Moyan Tianzun at all.
After all, Moyan Tianzun’s current cultivation was only mid Eight Wastelands Heaven, even weaker than Ximen Bumie, whom he had killed before.
The enemy who had nearly forced him to death on Tianlong Continent was now nothing in his eyes.
“Little Die, prepare to act. Kill anyone who dares block. We must be quick. We are not far from the palace now. If reinforcements come, they will arrive very fast.”
Ling Xiao reminded her, then began condensing Ren Wang power, preparing a thunderous strike.
“Sun Shang! Your end has come!”
He sneered inwardly. The grudges from Tianlong Continent would be completely settled today.
Hm?
Just as Ling Xiao prepared to strike, he suddenly sensed an extremely powerful force intruding into his Earth Vision Heaven Hearing range.
This was an ice-cold to the extreme, evil to the extreme, thick killing intent!
Compared to Sword Demon Ye Gushan’s killing aura, it was only slightly inferior.
“Little Die, do not act yet. Wait.”
Stopping Die Nu’s attack, Ling Xiao looked in one direction.
In the darkness, no figure was visible, only the frenzied killing intent drawing ever closer.
“Eye of the World!”
Ling Xiao activated the Eye of the World and then saw a pitch-black shadow flying toward Sun Shang’s sedan in the void.
Seeing this shadow, Ling Xiao’s pupils contracted sharply, his heartbeat suddenly accelerating in shock.
Leng Mei!
He could not believe that this terrifying power came from Leng Mei!
At this moment, Leng Mei was somewhat different from usual.
She seemed more mature than before, her body much larger, looking more like an adult woman.
Heavy eyeshadow surrounded her eye sockets, giving an evil and eerie appearance.
Her hair scattered wildly in the air, like a fierce ghost emerging from the Nine Serenities.
Was this really Leng Mei?
Ling Xiao swallowed hard. He had never imagined Leng Mei could be so powerful, so terrifying.
Seeing the girl’s ferocious face, he actually felt some heartache.
Because he could clearly sense that Leng Mei was enduring immense pain, tormented by something.
Was she also here to kill Sun Shang?
“What? You say she signed some contract with an evil soul?”
Ling Xiao turned to look at Die Nu.
A voice had just entered his mind, Die Nu’s voice.
Die Nu nodded but said nothing.
“Should I stop her?”
Ling Xiao asked.
“Better not. Stopping her now is like interrupting a sleepwalker, very dangerous. Do not worry too much. After this, ask her properly. It should not be too big a problem.”
Die Nu’s voice appeared directly in Ling Xiao’s mind again.
“Alright.”
Ling Xiao dared not act rashly. If his impulsiveness harmed Leng Mei, it would be too late for regrets.
Sun Shang’s sedan had arrived.
Leng Mei suddenly struck.
At this time, neither Sun Shang in the sedan nor Moyan Tianzun and others outside had noticed her presence.
Only when the eight sedan bearers suddenly collapsed dead, and Dao Wuming fell corpse on the spot, did Moyan Tianzun and Sun Shang sense something wrong.
Moyan Tianzun’s first thought was not to protect anyone, but to flee!
“Little Die, capture that guy alive!”
Ling Xiao did not want to leave. He needed to watch Leng Mei, ready to act if anything went wrong.
Letting Die Nu capture Moyan Tianzun alive would do.
Die Nu departed.
Leng Mei did not even glance at Moyan Tianzun.
Perhaps in her eyes, Moyan Tianzun was now just trash, trash she could crush anytime, not worth the effort.
Her gaze remained fixed deadly on the sedan.
Suddenly, the sedan split open. A green light shot through the air toward Leng Mei.
Leng Mei sneered disdainfully. Black plum blossoms flew through the air, instantly shattering the green light.
